"I don't know when it starts, and there is a date on everything. The saury will expire, the canned meat will expire, and even the preservative paper will expire. I began to doubt that in this world, what else will not expire?

Hello everyone, I am Baiping APP. If you like whiskey, you must download it! !

There is a classic line in "Chongqing Forest" that is often mentioned:

"I don't know when it starts, there is a date on everything. The saury will expire, the canned meat will expire, and even the fresh-preserving paper will expire. I began to doubt that in this world, there is something else that will not expire?"

I wonder if you who love wine have ever thought about how long can whiskey last? How long does it last?

You may know that "high-quality wines will deteriorate over time."

In comparison, although whiskey is not as delicate as wine and does not have as strict storage conditions, if you want to maintain its flavor, you still need to pay attention to the correct storage method.

If you follow the following 5 simple steps to maintain whiskey, then it can better ensure its flavor and quality:

whiskey storage requires to avoid direct sunlight .

is exposed to sunlight and will promote the volatility of the wine, accelerate and catalyze the occurrence of certain chemical reactions, and will also affect the balance of salt substances in the wine, thereby shortening the life of whiskey.

In other words, direct sunlight may change the flavor of the wine, creating an unpleasant taste.

and long-term exposure to the sun will also affect the color of the wine body (the color may become lighter), and will accelerate the evaporation of the wine liquid (if the bottle has poor sealing).

Therefore ideals for storing whiskey include: basement; kitchen cabinets away from stoves or other heat sources; storage rooms (not close to windows); corridor closets; wine cabinets away from heat and light.

Simply put, the place where whiskey is placed should be to avoid light .

should place the bottle upright (vertical) to avoid the following situations:

When the whiskey bottle is placed horizontally or inclinedly, the wine may continue to contact the bottle plug for a long time. If the bottle is sealed with a cork or rubber plug, it may be possible to pass through long-term infiltration:

① Some substances in the wine plug will enter the wine liquid, destroying the flavor of the wine liquid;

② The wine plug will shrink or have pores, which may cause external air to enter the wine bottle, thereby accelerating the oxidation of the wine liquid in the bottle;

③ The wine plug will accelerate the aging, and the probability of breaking the plug will increase greatly when the bottle is opened.

so vertically place is the best position to store whiskey. The ideal room temperature for

storage whiskey is 15-20 degrees Celsius , and the actual temperature should not be higher or lower than 3-4 degrees in this range. The fluctuations in the temperature of

will cause the air pressure in the bottle to change. If the bottle is not sealed well, it is possible that external air will enter the bottle as the air pressure in the bottle decreases, which may destroy the flavor of the whiskey.

Also, do not store whiskey in the refrigerator for a long time, as this may make the flavor lighter.

If you want to drink whiskey with a lower temperature, it is recommended to add ice to drink it, which will have less destructive effects on the flavor.

Before we mentioned that whiskey bottles should be stored vertically. In addition to ensuring the flavor of the whiskey, doing so also helps protect the cork.

Because in most cases, the wine vapor in the bottle can provide enough moisture to keep the cork moisturized .

However, while preventing the cork from contacting the wine continuously, there is also a trick to keep the cork at proper humidity without being too dry and hard.

If you want to open a new bottle of whiskey, or if you want to reopen a bottle that has been stored for a long time, you can turn the bottle over from time to time before opening the bottle and soak the plug slightly. This will not only reduce the probability of blocking, but also prevent cork fragments from falling into the liquid after blocking.

Some experts have suggested that it is best to flip the bottle of whiskey for long-term storage once a month, soak the cork, and then put it back in place and store it vertically.

Of course, when there are many bottles of wine stored, this is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so it is for reference only.

However, it should be noted that some corks have poor quality. Even if they are kept moist on a regular basis, the probability of this type of wine plug is relatively high. In this case, you need to get a few more spare wine plugs.

Once the remaining whiskey in the bottle accounts for only one-quarter of the capacity, the probability of contact between the air in the bottle and the wine liquid may increase, which may affect the flavor.

Of course, after the whiskey is opened, the liquid comes into contact with the air, and is regarded by some whiskey gourmets as a way of sobering up, which is the so-called bottle wake-up.

. This way of sobering is not so good or bad. Everyone has different preferences and attitudes towards bottle awakening.

However, in order to reduce the risk of wake-up, some people worry that the flavor of the wine will become bad, they will transfer the remaining whiskey in the bottle to a smaller container .

If you have this concern, you can use a small glass wine bottle, fill the bottle completely with the wine, and seal it with the wine plug. This reduces the interaction between whiskey and air.

also needs to ensure that the glass wine bottle is well sealed to reduce the evaporation of the wine.

Of course, if you want to save the remaining liquid in a bottle of uncooked whiskey for a long time, it is more suitable to use this method of preservation.

follows these 5 key steps to save whiskey, and you can enjoy your treasured wine for a long time! Of course, for all gourmets, there is never enough whiskey you can drink in , only enough whiskey you can drink!
